Blue Collar Muse

For every man who began bearing the responsibility when his wife bore him a child …

For every man who walked a factory floor by day and a bedroom floor by night …

For every man who braved the elements that his child might be sheltered …

For every man who wept that his child might be spared his tears …

For every man who denied his dreams that his child might live his …

For every man who ignored his hunger that his child might be full …

For every man who endured hardship that his child might have comfort …

For every man who ignored his pain that his child might be spared his …

For every man who endured illness that his child might be well …

For every man who took a back seat that his child might advance …

For every man who took a stand that his child might not fall …

For every man who would not quit that his child might not fail …

For every man who remained hidden that his child might walk openly …

For every man who humbled himself that his child might stand proud …

For every man who withheld a trifle that his child might gain riches …

For every man who died to self that his child might live to the fullest …

For every man who traded “But I Love You!” for “I HATE YOU!” …

For every man who did all this and so much more …

You know, as do I - it’s worth every moment …

Happy Father’s Day
